Speciation occurs when populations are reproductively isolated, though the role of intrinsic postzygotic incompatibility (reduced viability of hybrid offspring) is debated. While the BDM model can explain these, @ayajulio.bsky.social argues multi-locus models may offer better insights! 🌍🧪🧬

'No one will judge you for asking what feels like a stupid question.' For #IDWGS2025, the Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences Division asked scientists from across the faculty about the advice they wish they had received at the beginning of their careers ⬇️
Prof Dame Alison Etheridge: 'In spite of appearances, everyone is insecure and no-one will judge you for asking what feels like a stupid question. Most people in the room probably wanted to ask the same thing but were too embarrassed - asking will win you many friends!'Prof Erin Saupe: I wish I would have realised sooner that it's OK to be wrong in science, and that admitting you were wrong is a strength, not a weakness.
Science should be about testing your assumptions and re-thinking paradigms, not just 'getting things right'.Prof Daniela Bortoletto: 'That it's okay to say no and set boundaries. You don't need to feel obligated to take on every task, especially those disproportionately assigned to women.
Focus on roles that support your scientific and professional growth.'Prof Tamsin Mather: 'A career is a marathon not a sprint and there will be times things feel better than others or where life has priority. Be patient when things feel tough. Taking time off is so important, not just because work isn't everything, but to stay creative. I've had my best ideas on my bike, kayak, or up a mountain!'

A green lawn stretches towards an old castl, three wings of the castle can be seen with multiple arched entries and at leasted 4 levels of whindows. Two large sections of the castle walls are covered with green vine with leaves or red vine with red or orange leaves. This is the opposite side of the castle in the previous picture. Here three distinct 'towers' cant be see with two sections of building between them. This side of the case appears to only have one entrance and the sections between the towers are covered in thick green foilage   with the exception of the 12 windows in each section spread over three floors.
